Make a magic shut­ter

Clever as­sem­bly and lots of lay­ers is all it takes to cre­ate this magic shut­ter card

This card de­sign is guar­an­teed to sur­prise and amaze the re­cip­i­ent! Sim­ply open back the gate­fold pan­els of the card to re­veal the magic win­dow nes­tled within the cen­tre. A ba­sic gate­fold card base is mag­i­cally trans­formed by at­tach­ing a flap to the in­side of each of the side pan­els and an aper­ture panel over the top. When the card is shut the flaps will hide the se­cret sen­ti­ment, then, as the card is opened the sen­ti­ment un­der the cir­cle aper­ture is slowly re­vealed as the wings are pulled away. The magic shut­ter card is slightly more com­plex than the peek-a-boo card but, yet again, it re­ally is a lot eas­ier to make than it looks.
